Danielle Fidel comes to renewables from her desire to make long lasting positive change on our planet. With a background in public health and human physiology she is intimately familiar with how what we do impacts our planet and in turn, human health. She has been in the solar industry for 15 years and counting.

In her current role, as Senior Director for DSD’s Developer Network, Danielle manages the developer network program including building out refined processes and enhanced offerings to help developers across the country grow their businesses. She also manages the Account Executive team whose goal is to provide the best customer service and support to developers and their customers so they know that they can count on DSD to not only be there to fund projects, but also to own, operate and maintain systems for optimal performance for the long run.

Prior to joining DSD, Danielle worked as a Regional Sales Manager for SunPower Corporation providing support to commercial dealers primarily in the Northeast. Before that role she was the Director of Commercial Solar at Technicians for Sustainability for over 10 years where she built out a robust commercial division that included developing and providing EPC services to for- and non-profit customers across Southern Arizona with an emphasis on solar carports and non-profit financing.

When not solarizing America, Danielle can be found hiking, paddle boarding and exploring the mountains in Arizona with her husband and two children. She has also been known to escape to the ocean whenever possible.
